I found a HP 11 inch chromebook for £130 https://www.johnlewis.com/hp-11-v001n-chromebook-intel-celeron-4gb-ram-16gb-emmc-11-6-grey/p3709466?sku=237583759&&s_kwcid=2dx92700023766385966&tmad=c&tmcampid=2&gclid=CjwKCAjwvNXeBRAjEiwAjqYhFkZRIokapJU-TUS5_4sOdD8WY3UZTERhU1Hw2qC_Q37kS4g0zGK2WRoCXq0QAvD_BwE Do you think it is a decent deal

Looking for a laptop that can do the basic things - youtube, notes, browsing etc, so I am looking for a sub 200 laptop, so which OS is the best for this use case cause the pricing for the low end windows laptop and chromebooks are basically the same

There may be a price drop for TR 1st gen, the rest of the 2nd gen lineup is just around the corner

The RAM is still decent.

Kingston Value RAM is pretty solid and cheap

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo but you may need to get an AM4 attachment

Will there be a Ryzen 2800X like the 1800X, or will there be a long wait of 6 months till the release of Ryzen 3.

It was a typo

Perhaps a Ryzen 1800X it is pretty powerful and awesome for multi core stuff

An Asus Rog Strix-H X370, pretty much has everything you would need.

Is a GPU beneficial for rigorous calculations for simulation, without a display output.

When is the release?

If you have the budget go for the i7 8700k for a few extra frames and better oc but you should be fine with the ryzen 7 2700x

The 8100 also has better clock speeds and is much cheaper.

I know there is a little difference between these 2 CPUs but which has the edge for applications such as Solidworks, Hyperworks etc.
